The counter to that viewpoint is Tomiko. She has lived for a couple hundred years and doesn't report any adults going "rogue" over her life-span. Now she may have been dissembling, but I didn't get that impression during her conversation with Saki. If anything, she was quite frank in her presentation of past events, presumably because she was grooming her successor.
It is also implied that puberty is the primary trigger. I don't recall seeing any young children in her discussion, and we know from the first episode that discovering PK powers seems correlated with puberty. That seems to be the reason why adolescent sexual behavior is encouraged as the means of coping with stress. The linkage between pubescent hormones and the potential to become a demon seems pretty strongly hinted at if not explained outright.
